    i dunnnnno... i still think it comes down to personal choice regardless if the law is in place or not.



    I mean... i guess it is YOUR body.. you can choose to take the chance of mangling it if you'd like...

    I think we should focus on the bigger laws that are crazy. Maybe focus more on getting bud legal than seatbelt laws (dont anyone start with me :D ).. considering there is no large penalty for it (not wearing a seatbelt) I find it low on the list of things that should be changed in America. Tis all :)

    Yes. Has hypocrisy written all over it. Wants to price people out of eating to tackle obesity, yet eats at the tax payer's expense. I could go on.

    get over yourself. you never get mad for getting a ticket? its not like i really knocked the bitch out! (she was a bitch, btw.)


    at my home state they can't pull you over for not wearing a seatbelt, but can give you a ticket for not wearing one if you get pulled over for something else. I'm just gonna show up at court and say i had it on and the bitch was blind and shouldnt be loooking in my car anyway. i'm sure that will work!
    hmm... what if you're in a car with other people? They're all wearing their seatbelts and you're not... the car crashes and you get thrown all around the car with all 5 of you dying... the other 4 would have survived had you been wearing your seatbelt... that's pretty selfish if you ask me. Also parents need to put seatbelts on their kids. Or even if you're in a car on your own, crash into another, you fly through the windscreen and kill the driver of the other car who would have survived otherwise... get where I'm coming from?

    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life

    yes those accidents where your car does flips in the air for a long stretch and it flips youa round your car because your a midget :)

    that happens all the time :)


    the point of this is not that seatbelts save lives... they obviously do... but making it a law is ridiculous.. ITS PERSONAL CHOICE

    It might be a personal choice but people don't live in their own individual bubble and not wearing your seatbelt can have an effect on other people. For example say you get in a car accident, and you are not wearing a seatbelt. Because of that you are thrown from the car and need to be taken to an ER. Because you weren't wearing a seatbelt, you are taking up the time of doctors nurses and support staff as well as hospital resources. That time and resources could be given to someone who needs medical care through no fault of their own.

    Accidents are what they are.. accidents... no amount of spin is gonna work here.. AND YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT STILL.


    everyone is aware of the goodness of safety belts.. this is not the issue here.. the issue is POLICE PULLING PEOPLE OVER AND FINING THEM FOR NOT WEARING ONE..

    these ridiculous circumstances and arguments are...

    this pains me... it really does.. are you fucking people serious!? anyone can think up instances where someone can be inconvenienced becasue another didnt do something..

    its poor thinking.. i cant argue with this.

    to your logic kel... police should start fining bicyclists who ride without their helmets because they could fall and bump their head and take up a nurses or doctors time.. this is your argument...

    I would call people not getting the medical care they need in a timely manner because some dumbass didn't wear his seatbelt more than just an inconvenience. If a law can help prevent that I see no reason not to have it.

    Just because wearing a seatbelt is a personal choice doesn't mean it doesn't have any affect on other people. I mean by your logic I should be able to drink a bottle of rye before going home. If something happens it is just an accident, and if I take up hospital reasources then no big deal I am only inconveniencing other people.

    They might not prevent accidents from happening, but I am sure there are a ton of people out there who are dumb enough where unless there is a law saying wear your seatbelt, they wouldn't. And I wouldn't want a bunch of these people tying up doctors in the emergency room on a day where I, or someone I cared about needed medical attention because of an something they had no control over.

    Is it really that hard to understand? Accident with a seatbelt, minor whiplash, same accident with a seatbelt major head injury. Major head injury requires more doctor time to fix. Limted number of doctors at any given time along with more patients than doctors. If a law get people to wear their seatbelts and not waste the doctor's time how is it a bad thing? If someone still chooses to wear their seatbelt they get a ticket.

    It is like making guys on construction sites wear hard hats. It is true that if a concrete block falls on your head you will be the only one to die, but that doesn't mean you will be the only one affected by it.

    there is no evidence or proof anywhere that will tell you this ''Safety Belt Laws Increase Safety Belt Usage.''

    however you will find a lot of .com sites and on your local news stations.. people with that brain damaged thinking... that people of course are buckling up ONLY BECAUSE IT IS THE LAW.

    What the fuck??? Your thesis here is that laws are completely valid when they are made in order to avoid "wasting someone's time". By that silly logic, why not just ban driving? Then we'd all have lots of extra free time.....

    I would call taking up an emergency room doctor's time, that could be used to save the lives of other people, because you were too dumb to wear a seatbelt a bit more than just wasting someone's time. To me that is massively arrogant and selfish, and I don't see a reason not to have a law to help prevent it.
